HPCI-SS

The HPCI-SS component is a variant of the Storage component that uses HPCI shared storage as the file storage location.

The properties you can set for the HPCI-SS component are as follows.

host

Set host to the host that runs the gfarm commands (gfcp, gfpcopy, etc.) used to transfer files to HPCI shared storage. The files themselves are stored on HPCI shared storage, not on the host itself.

However, only hosts that have the use gfarm option checked in the remotehost settings can be set as the host.

directory path

Similar to the Storage component, this is the path where files are actually stored. However, you must specify the path on HPCI shared storage, not a path on the host.

Constraints

HPCI shared storage does not support overwriting copies to directories that already exist. For this reason, when the HPCI-SS component receives a foo directory from a preceding component:

On the first execution, a foo directory is created directly under the path specified in directory path, and the contents of the received foo are copied under the foo directory.
On subsequent executions, a directory named WHEEL_TMP_XXXXXX (where XXXXXX is a random string) is created directly under directory path, and the foo directory is copied under it.
